We're a bit skeptical about the idea if only because of the packaging constraints of sticking the V-6 engine and all of its attendant supercharging hardware into the Evoque's engine bay. On the other hand, a 340-horsepower supercharged Evoque would be tons of fun, so we'll suspend our disbelief, wishfully, and perhaps only momentary, to consider the idea.

Before you jump through your monitor and strangle us for the thought, however, consider that BMW's X1, in U.S. trim, is available with the company's 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder, meaning the Evoque R would have some natural competition. And that's before you consider the upcoming Porsche Macan, expected to pack its own turbo V-6 with up to 370 horsepower on tap, as well as a base model with a 220-ish-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, making it one of the Evoque's closest analogs.

So, what do you think? Can Land Rover stuff a supercharged V-6 under the Evoque's hood? Will it? Or, even more importantly, should it?
